What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
- vehicle one runs a stop sign
- vehicle one hits vehicle two in drivers side rear
- vehicle two fish tails a bit, then, appears to speed up instead of hitting the brakes
- vehicle two crosses traffic and hits vehicle three almost head on and both vehicles end up in an empty lot
- vehicle one flees the scene
- vehicle two receives one ticket for invalid or missing registration
- vehicle two has insurance
- no witnesses
- 5,000.00 damage to vehicle three
- driver of vehicle three is on a learner's permit and was not found at fault on scene
- no tickets issued to driver of vehicle three
- driver of vehicle three sustained neck injury. appointment with specialist tomorrow
- vehicle three has valid insurance. PLPD - no collision
- I already provided a recorded statement of the events over the phone to my insurance adjuster
I'm own vehicle three and suffered minor injuries of a couple bumps on the knees. My insurance adjuster said I have no option to get my vehicle fixed stating that vehicle two will claim no fault, push the blame on vehicle one and wiggle out of it. Here is the best part. My insurance adjuster actually said: "We are on your side and I will work with the local police to try and get this guy..." (vehicle one). I could barely keep from laughing at that one.
Family, friends, and everyone else within ear shot of a conversation is an instant expert on this entire issue. I can't help but believe that the reality of this event will be me left holding the bag and the only real chance I have of getting my vehicle fixed is some type of negotiation with vehicle two insurance. I have no money to hire a lawyer.
What would be my best option?
